Created this Mother's Day Card with lots of detail & dimension for the Window scene. Used a Cottage Cutz die for the Window, window curtain, flower pot, flowers & leaves. I should have photographed the carefully measured small pieces of scrap paper that I placed on the Cottage Cutz die. I discovered that placing the Kraft cardstock, used for the window, over the small pieces helps from losing the small pieces as I take them out of the Sizzix BIGkick. Stamped Paper Smooches Summer Groves clouds, bird & flowers. I thought the stamping of the clouds & flowers added dimension. Used paper piercing technique with a ruler & a Stampin' Up piercing tool for the Sun's Rays and placed gold glitter cardstock behind the white cardstock to shine thru. Added some inking.
